Your explanation of wavebouncing is incorrect. It's not a "b-reverse b-reverse". It's closer to a turnaround b-reverse. To perform a wavebounce neutral special, you must tap back (relative to your initial facing direction), return the stick to neutral, press special, then press forward. The first tap back must be done no more than 10 frames before pressing special. This is what causes the turnaround. Forward must be held on or before the 4th frame after pressing special. Note that both of those numbers are for Smash 4, and I haven't re-tested it, but I'm pretty sure it's unchanged. What you were likely doing is holding back too long, and pressing special before releasing the stick. This results in a turnaround side-special. When you hold forward, you b-reverse the side-special. The end result is a wavebounce side-special.

Good Stuff! The list of simple combos/setups with examples will be a welcome sight for those getting into Lucario. The ledgetrap intro is also great: having the shot available and able to cancel into so many things is extremely nerve-wracking on the opponent. I can think of a few other handy and possibly unique tools at Lucario's disposal, especially how Double Team counter can be exceptionally helpful to get out of pressure/disadvantage. I hope I'm not being too forward or nitpicky with this, but I feel obligated to explain a fairly significant discrepancy about Aura. I looked over Meshima's tweet about Aura mechanics and multipliers. As someone who's spent a *lot* of time working with/labbing Lucario in Ultmate (and slowly compiling a comprehensive guide), I can pretty definitely say that Meshima's analysis is, at best, incomplete. Aura actually *does* take into account up to two stocks both ahead and behind, but with some caveats and strings attached. I go into great and comprehensive detail on how Aura functions in this guide posted here: smashboards.com/threads/aura-dojo-the-ultimate-players-guide-to-lucario-w-i-p.466160/ Also, with your permission, I'd like to link/embed this video in the guide itself for helpful future reference.

I’ve always had a interest in learning Lucario sense Brawl. Very glad he got the changes he needed!

Basically all you need to know about Lucario's Up B is that it goes further the more aura you have, you can change direction in midair, and if you hit the ground with it, you can damage opponents. Think of it like Diddy Kong's Up+B but much better.

Using it offensively to cover your recovery, you can point the control stick in any direction to alter the opponent's launch trajectory. Keep in mind though that even slight changes in the angle can also greatly affect your landing lag, because even at its shortest, the endlag is fairly punishable if the hitbox is avoided

If there's anything I'm taking from this, the biggest thing is my follow-ups to catching people in my Aura Sphere. I was so sad I couldn't JCUp-Smash anymore when I got Ultimate. But the follow-up Force Palm is nice and I never thought of it given it was just a mix-up before in SSB4, for me. My main issues from coming from SSB4 is just relearning my percentages of me and my opponent and memorizing my new combos. Up-throw into Up-Air isn't as true as it used to be, to confirm easy kills. So I just have to learn new ways.

I've been trying to play a ton of Lucario and genuinely my only issue with him is Up-B. Whenever I recover it seems like Lucario has a mind of his own and starts doing autistic semi-cricles and I end up with either more endlag or a straight up SD. It's so frustrating losing a stock with aura because of something like that.

Good stuff, been playing Lucario since Brawl, and I learned a couple new things. I think it's worth mentioning that Aura Sphere canceling was harder in 4 since you had to shield-cancel into a jump-canceled up-smash (which was pretty much the only thing to do with a foe caught in the charge-up) , and now we can just cancel the shield straight into up-smash (or Force Palm grab, or any of the other new options) without hitting jump in between. Ultimate makes that tech so much more accessible. At the same time, the charge-up hit box got a bit of a nerf, since a lot of times you could just cover most ledge options by being backed up against the ledge charging up the sphere. It now doesn't go below the stage even at max aura. Also, characters with low-hanging hitboxes off the ledge might not get hit with a sphere - the FE characters in general hang really low off the ledge.

If you can't Wavebounce (I can't either), you can instead do an empty RAR jump towards your opponent and then tap B and the immediatley left-stick forwards (i.e. a B-reverse). This will cause your character move diagonally back and downwards while charging Aura Sphere in what is essentially a pseudo-wavebounce. The only difference is that, unlike Wavebouncing, it requires an initial Dash to initiate the RAR.
